CEPAD USA INC

CEPAD USA INC DONATION FORMDear CEPAD-USA Supporter, On behalf of the CEPAD-USA Board of Directors, it is with great sadness that I must inform you that the government of Nicaragua has suddenly closed CEPAD in Nicaragua. The government announced on Monday, August 19 that the legal status of 1500 NGOs was being revoked. CEPAD was among these organizations. The government has frozen the CEPAD bank account in Nicaragua and may seize their property. We have suspended the transfer of all funds from CEPAD-USA until further notice. The future is uncertain right now. The details of exactly how, when, or even if CEPAD will continue to serve the people in rural villages with the important training and support they have provided for over 50 years is unknown today. There are some hopes that CEPAD can reorganize into a new legal entity and continue its work. The CEPAD-USA Board of Directors is committed to supporting the efforts of our Nicaraguan friends as they work to find a way to continue serving. We ask that you temporarily pause your donations. When we have a clear path forward, your future donations will be more important than ever. Thank you in advance for your prayers and your patience. ​ Harriet Hall CEPAD-USA Board President
